This week was not without “Chinese” launches. So, GAC launched Russian sales of the second generation GS8 crossover. Yes, 2 years after the premiere in China. And Chery – Tiggo 7 Pro Max with all-wheel drive. The system, which acquired the brand’s bestseller in our country, was developed by Chery engineers together with specialists from the German company ZF.
In addition, the automotive community actively discussed the news that Japan could ban the supply of cars with engines larger than 1.9 liters to Russia. That is, to join Europe, which introduced such a restriction with the 11th package of sanctions. A little later, local authorities commented on these rumors – they did not confirm them, but did not refute them either.
And one more thing, not the most joyful news: analysts have come to the conclusion that used cars in Russia continue to rise in price. According to the agency “AUTOSTAT”, the price of “beushki” has increased by another 8% over the past six months. And if you look at the year, the growth was a terrifying 16%. Today, the average cost of a used car is 1,420,000 rubles. That is 200,000 more than in July 2022.
